About Me

I will join the CS department at Louisiana State University in Fall 2019 as a tenure-track assistant professor. I am currently looking for highly motivated Ph.D. students to join the research on Cyber Security and Privacy, Smart Health Care, Mobile Sensing and Computing, Internet of Things, Machine Learning and Wireless Communications. Please email your CV and any other supporting materials to me, if you are interested.

 

Chen Wang is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rutgers University. He is working at WINLAB under the supervision of Professor Yingying Chen. He obtained his Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees from University of Electronic and Science of Technology of China (UESTC). [Google Scholar] [CV]
